Wisdom tooth S.J
Scarlett Johansson x daughter!Reader
Summary: R puts off going to the dentist until the last moment
Reader POV I have not been eating much because I don't have an appetite. I am constantly having a headache that shoots down my neck due to my toothache. I have been putting off going to the dentist because the last experience there was horrifying. So instead of eating, I have been switching my diet to drinking smoothies. It's safe to say it wasn't enough because I was losing weight.
I have been taking Tylenol to help with my pain but it was getting tough. Even two pills weren't enough at times to cover the pain, making me easily irritable. I was also having trouble sleeping at night. It was getting harder and harder to hide from my mum, I couldn't hide from her for every meal so I had to pick and choose. I have been eating slower and lesser when normally, I would be the first one off the table.
"Y/N sweetie, are you okay?" Scarlett asked me one day.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"
"It's just, you are losing your normal enthusiasm when eating. You are normally excited about what's for lunch and dinner."
I put down my fork and took a deep breath. "IthinkIhaveatoothache."
"Pardon? I didn't catch you."
"I think I have a toothache."
"Oh dear... is that why you haven't been eating?" I nodded my head. "I know you hate going to the dentist, but if we keep dragging it, it's going to hurt even more." "I'm going to make an appointment for you and we can go together okay?"
"Alright..." I can't escape from it now...
"Here, in the meantime, put this on your jaw. It should help a bit." My mum gave me a pack of ice. It was really cold but it did help numb the pain.
"Great news! There's a slot today and we can go there now."
"Wait what!? I- I'm not mentally prepared yet!" I sat up straight at the news. We obviously have differing opinions on what's great news. She acted as if she didn't hear me and continued getting ready to leave. I groaned and whined as I got ready as well.
"Do we really have to go today?" I whined to my mum.
"You are in the car already, what do you expect?" I trashed in my seat as I really did not want to go.
>time skip to the dentist<
"Miss Y/N?" The nurse announced my name. I did not move from my seat but mum dragged my hand into the room. The dentist did a quick check on my teeth and informed us that it was not a toothache but rather my wisdom tooth growing out of place hence all the hurting. He suggested removing the wisdom tooth today so that we don't have to make another visit but honestly, my mind blanked out after he suggested removal.
Scarlett POV I could see Y/N not paying attention anymore after the dentist suggested the procedure and I took over the talking. He asked about any allergy, height and weight to measure the amount of laughing gas to use. As the time went on, Y/N was getting visibly anxious. I held her hand to let her know I'm right there with her and that she has nothing to be afraid of.
Slowly, as she gets induced by the laughing gas, the dentist checks to make sure she's not feeling anything before starting the removal of her wisdom teeth. She was knocked out cold due to the anesthesia and I sat by the side to wait for the dentist to be done.
After about an hour, the dentist was down with the procedure and all I had to do was wait for Y/N to wake up. He briefed me on what to do and what not to do at home. No solid food for a week, no drinking through straws (something about not feeling your tongue) and to change the cotton wool when we get home.
"Mum?" Y/N finally stirred awake.
"Yes, baby I'm here." I went closer to her and held her hand. She leaned forwards and put her entire body on mine like a koala. "You want me to carry you?" I felt her head nod. "Okay, let's go then." I carried her with me and walked to my car.
"Normally people are hysterical after their wisdom teeth removal, why are you crying?"
"I on't now..." She started crying more hysterically through her muffled voice due to the cotton wool.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry. You can cry all you want." Oh god, why is my child so unlike others? When we got back home, I quickly whipped up some smoothies because she hadn't been eating much.
"Drink this smoothie and take your pain medication then you can go to bed." I managed to let her allow me to change the cotton wool in her mouth. I can see the stitches in there but I wasn't going tell her that and scare her.
"Can you- Can you stay with me?"
"Of course sweetheart."
Despite everything she's doing, she's still a baby, she's still my baby.

‘LAS MUELAS DEL JUICIO’ OR THE TEETH OF JUDGEMENT
Have you always wondered why we have wisdom teeth? In this commentary you’ll get varieties of information about our THIRD MOLARS.
In the beginning of time where our ancestors survived on primitive diet, consisting raw and tough sustenance, the wisdom teeth were developed to aid in grinding these foods for good digestion. Over time, due to the evolutionary changes in our diet and environment, the wisdom teeth are no longer necessary. Hence, they are the last set to develop.
FACTS ABOUT THE WISDOM TEETH:
Tumblr media
35% of the population is born without wisdom teeth
Researchers debate whether this is evolution or culture. Humans no longer need these teeth for survival; however, some researchers have looked into the link between how different cultures use their jaws, and whether or not they have teeth.
Tumblr media
Wisdom teeth got their nickname from the age when they typically grow in
Wisdom teeth don’t actually grow out until the dental arch becomes larger, around 17-25 years old, this time is referred to as the “age of wisdom”.
Tumblr media
You can use wisdom teeth to produce stem cells
While wisdom teeth might seem unnecessary because we no longer have to eat tough food items, there are beneficial in other ways. For instance, some research suggests that you can use wisdom teeth to produce stem cells.
WHY DO WE HAVE WISDOM TEETH?
The wisdom teeth were developed to help prevent wear and tear of the jaw of our ancestors from consuming solid and raw foods. These third molars fit in their mouth easily as their jaws were much larger.
Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to come into the mouth (erupt). Some grow and some might be impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars at the back of the mouth that don't have enough room to emerge or develop normally.
Impacted wisdom teeth causes pain and other dental complications and will be recommended to be removed.
Tumblr media
Symptoms are…..
· Pain or swelling of your jaw or face.
· Red, swollen or bleeding gums.
· A bad taste in your mouth.
· Halitosis
· Difficulty opening your mouth all the way.
But, The only way to really know if a wisdom tooth that is partially through the gum is impacted is to see a dentist or an oral surgeon for an X-ray.
Many people lack the knowledge about the importance and significance of the wisdom tooth. Its significance to human evolution shaped our society today. Due to the immense development in our civilization, many of our primitive traits are deemed no longer necessary.
Still, it is better to be aware to prevent future problems. Visit you denstists regularly and practice proper oral care.

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. While these teeth were once essential for our ancestors, who had a diet requiring more chewing power, they often pose problems in modern dental health.

"Comprehensive Guide to Post-Wisdom Teeth Removal: Best Practices and Precautions to Facilitate Healing".
Precautions after Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last molars located in the back of the mouth. Most people have four wisdom teeth, one on the upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left. Wisdom teeth are named because they grow at the age of opening one's eyes to love. Wisdom teeth usually appear in late adolescence or early adulthood, between the ages of 17 and 25, so they are associated with the age of gaining wisdom, hence the name wisdom teeth. Today, I would like to learn more about precautions after wisdom tooth extraction  
Tumblr media
  It is normal for teeth to grow straight according to the position of the oral structure of the jaw and the position of the adjacent teeth after the baby teeth are lost when they are young. Due to the limited space in the jaw, wisdom teeth do not have enough room to grow properly and can come in at an odd angle, partially erupt, or remain in an impacted state.  
Tumblr media
  Historically, wisdom teeth were necessary for our ancestors who had a difficult eating habit of chewing rough foods such as roots, nuts, and raw meat. Now, as cooking methods using fire have been developed a lot, we are used to soft and soft foods, and chewing tough or hard foods is reduced, the jaw naturally becomes smaller and there is no space for wisdom teeth that are no longer useful.  
Tumblr media
  Precautions after wisdom tooth extraction It is important to take appropriate precautions to reduce complications by facilitating healing and minimizing discomfort 1. After tooth extraction, there is bleeding, so change the gauze every 30 to 60 minutes until the bleeding stops, bite the gauze to stop the bleeding, and do not spit or rinse constantly as this can interfere with the blood clotting process 2. Using a straw can also cause pressure in the mouth and cause bleeding. Because it can last, avoid using it and take care for at least a week. 3. Swelling often occurs on the outside of the cheeks for the first 24 hours. Applying cold compresses may help reduce swelling  
Tumblr media
  5. It is important to keep your mouth clean, but it is better to be gentle around the surgical site. On the first day, do not brush the affected area, lightly rinse your mouth with warm salt water, and brush your teeth carefully avoiding the extraction site after the first day. 6. For the first few days, it is recommended to eat soft or liquid food and avoid salty, spicy and hot foods that can irritate the area. 7. It is recommended to avoid smoking or drinking alcohol for at least 48 hours as this may interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of complications 8. Avoid touching the area with your fingers or tongue, which can introduce bacteria and slow the healing process 9. It is recommended to keep the head elevated, especially while sleeping, to reduce swelling and promote healing 10. It is important to carefully examine the area after tooth extraction for signs of infection such as pain, swelling, redness or pus, and if these symptoms appear, it is recommended to consult a specialist immediately.
